If the Old Dixie Highway extension north of CR 510 is closed, smoother traffic flow should be <br />realized as the stacking of vehicles attempting to turn north onto Old Dixie Highway from CR <br />510 and southbound vehicles attempting to cross CR 510 from Old Dixie Highway would be <br />eliminated. <br />In the interest of traffic safety and the citizens of our community, I support the closing of this <br />area. <br />Sincerely, <br />Roy Raymond, Sheriff <br />The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard regarding this matter. There being <br />none, the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />County Attorney Paul Bangel noted that Attorney Dundas is correct that the abandonment <br />could be viewed as a taking and might be compensable. However, removing all or a portion of a <br />property owner's access does not constitute a taking unless the property owner's right of access <br />is substantially diminished. Also, a taking has not occurred where the governmental entity can <br />show that other suitable access continues to exist. <br />AUGUST 6, 2002 76 <br />
